Double trap is a shotgun shooting sport, one of the ISSF shooting events. Participants use a shotgun to attempt to break a clay disk flung away from the shooter at high speed.

It is considered more difficult than most other trap versions in that the distance to the targets and the speed with which they are thrown are both greater.
